ABOUT OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

"Charles Washington is fostering education and cultural conversations with his upcycle art. See how this creative art space and fine art gallery founder uses his distinct art and venues to showcase his own culture and the diversity of Houston." #ShapingHouston at The Pop Up Place #JustPopUp

Charles Washington was born in the Carolinas and is a descendent of the Gullah people. He attended Delaware State College, where he studied Art Education and the fine arts. After a period of time living in New York pursing his goal as a professional artist, he set his eyes on Houston, TX in the late 80s and has lived and worked here for over 30 years. He is a mixed-media visionary and environmental artist whose wide range of techniques and materials defy a single definition. He’s better known as a renaissance man than simply an artist. His body of work includes recycled, functional, and wearable art with 3D work including sculpture, doors, canvas, and one of a kind cards, featuring subjects such as African pastoral, American Jazz, and free-form design. Mr. Washington's’ work is thought provoking and speaks volumes on a variety of cultural, historical, and current subjects.  ​
